Highlights
Discover the Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx on a private half-day tour designed for travelers who want to focus on Egypt’s most iconic ancient site without committing to a full-day itinerary. Travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle with a licensed Egyptologist guide and explore the Giza Plateau, the Great Pyramid of Khufu, panoramic pyramid viewpoints, the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of Khafre. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included from the selected Cairo and Giza areas. Because only your booking group participates, the tour offers a more personal pace and more time for questions and photographs.

About Cairo
Cairo is Egypt's sprawling capital on the Nile, where the Pyramids of Giza meet medieval mosques, busy bazaars and the treasures of the pharaohs.
On the western edge of the city, the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx rise from the desert plateau, with the step pyramid of Saqqara and the ruins of Memphis further south. Cairo's great museums, the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square and the vast Grand Egyptian Museum beside the plateau, hold artefacts spanning thousands of years.
